In this May 3, 2017 photo, a couple walks with a child in the Boston Common, a park surrounded by buildings in downtown Boston. A city that has seen its share of strife, from the school desegregation to the gentrification of its working classed neighborhoods, now finds itself embroiled in a new battle over a skyscraper shadow and two cherished public parks, Boston Common and the neighboring Public Garden. At issue is whether developers of the proposed tower should be allowed to violate a state law banning buildings from casting shadows over historic parks. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
